The Puerto Rico Economic Development Bank has signed an agreement with the College of Physicians and Surgeons to offer emergency loans of up to $50,000 to physicians whose practices were affected by Hurricane María.
Puerto Rico residents and Act 20/22 decree investors Toby Neugebauer and Charlie Hamilton announced a long-term partnership with microfinance organization Grameen America to support women entrepreneurs on the island.
Two of the island’s major banks, Banco Popular and FirstBank, stepped up Tuesday to help consumers during the hurricane-invoked emergency, offering three-month moratoriums a number of payments, including on mortgages and credit cards.
